Hi all. Just wanted to give the update of my alas bad experience with my overdried board. It showed a nice even crown at 40 % relative humidity when I got it from Ciresa (I don’t have their technical data yet, but probably tomorrow). When dried in a room with 36 ° Celsius and 20 % relative humidity for one day, the board went flat and even in some parts showing reverse crown. So I stopped the drying, obviously too enthusiastic. What bothers me now is that the board is now in a 40 % relative humidity environment at 22 ° Celsius, but it doesn’t come back to normal shape, after 24 hours. This sounds strange to me. It is still reverse crowned. Could it be that something irreversible has happened ? I can’t believe that 36 ° Celsius is enough to soften the glue joints between ribs and board. Is there anything I can do to save this poor board ? Should I wait a few more days, see what happens ? Best (and constricted) regards.
